History

Kaede Akino (秋野 かえで?) is a supporting Magical Girl in Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story.

Bio[]

Appearance[]

Kaede Akino is a girl who has red shoulder-length hair with two twintails tied with flower-like scrunchies and golden-red eyes. As a civilian, she is mostly seen in her school uniform.

As a Magical Girl, she wears white stockings, brown shorts, a gold-lined red top that exposes her midriff with each side connected by a chain held together with red gems. She wears this underneath a poncho carrying the same color scheme except with a large red bow in front and red gems decorating her shoulders with the one on the right side having a golden chain hanging on it, and a large dark beige witch's hat with a red gem attached to the top. Her hair is decorated with autumn leaves and she wear brown gloves on her arms. Her boots are brown with a wide opening and have red ribbons decorating them. Her weapon of choice is a large wooden cane with the top being unevenly curled into a hooked shape.

Personality[]

Kaede is a gentle girl who likes nature. She is shown to act awkwardly even around friends, particularly Rena Minami, and acts clumsily when faced with witches. Being a worrywart, Kaede is easily scared. She is also kind, caring, and ready to take risks for her friends. She loves animals, plants, and insects, and nature in general. She enjoys gardening, and though she's not good at them, she likes UFO Catchers.

Etymology[]

Kaede (かえで?) means "maple"[1], which indirectly references her theme color.

Akino (秋野?): Aki (?) means "autumn"[2] and no (?) means "field"[3]. "no" can also indicate possessive so her name could also mean "Autumn's maple".

Relationships[]

  • Rena Minami: Kaede's best friend. They initially met through Momoko and didn't get along because Rena saw Kaede as someone who would be a weight to their team. However, they later formed a bond even though they often break their friendship and usually Kaede apologizes first and everything is solved. Despite that, Rena does care for Kaede and would do anything to protect or save her.
